Starting an NGO or non-profit organization in India? Getting 12A, 80G, and CSR registration is essential for building credibility, gaining tax benefits, and receiving corporate donations.
These registrations not only enhance your organization’s trustworthiness but also make it eligible for CSR funding and government support.
What is 12A / 80G / CSR Registration?
12A and 80G registrations are issued by the Income Tax Department, while CSR registration is granted by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
Together, these three certifications legally empower your NGO, Trust, or Section 8 Company to operate transparently, collect donations, and receive corporate funds.
12A Registration → Provides income tax exemption for NGOs.
80G Registration → Allows donors to claim tax deductions on their contributions.
CSR Registration → Enables NGOs to receive CSR funds from registered companies under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013.
